From the planet, looking at the star, the star would be no bigger than a speck of dust, but would be 10 times brighter than our sun! What the pulsar might look like from the planet. We really have no clue how that planet got there. Why is that so cool? When a pulsar forms, it explodes so powerfully that anything around it is turned to dust and blasted into deep space. This planet, PSR B1257+12, is the only known planet to be orbiting a pulsar. The Fermi Bubble above and below the galaxy. These bubbles are enormous, taking up half the sky, and are almost 7 million degrees Fahrenheit! Scientists have reached a common expression on what has caused this: “We have no idea”. If they were centered in the galaxy, then we could explain them, but these bubbles are tangent to the galaxy in an hourglass shape. As you can see from the picture below, these bubbles emanate above and below the galaxy. In November 2010, the Fermi Gamma-ray telescope discovered these strange bubbles. The only one that we know of in the entire universe is called HV 2112. Although these objects would appear to be almost normal, they would house all sorts of strange elements that would never appear in a regular star. These objects form when a pulsar worms its way into the body of a different star. Thorne-Zytkow objectįirst is a Thorne-Zytkow object. This is a list of what I consider to be the top ten coolest things in space! 1.
